Light Color vs. Object Color

Chromaticity diagrams such as (x,y), (u’,v’) are two-dimensional and are only for light color. These are not for object color.

No black, grey, or brown

Object color needs another axis: black—white

so, 3-dimensional color space.

Object Color Space

n Three attributes of object color are hue, chroma (saturation), and lightness, and are expressed in a three dimensional space.

R9 for red object rendering

Why R9 scores go negative? The red region in color space (W*U*V*) used in CRI is extremely stretched (by a factor of 3 or 4). Color difference (∆E) in red is calculated to be much larger than other colors and its score gets low: R9= 100 - 4.6 x ∆E9.

R9 : Good indication for rendering of red objects and skin tone (very important). Useful information to supplement Ra.

To convert R9 value to the similar scale as Ra (for 2700 to 3000 K), R9’=100 - (100 – R9)/4 So, R9>0 R9’>75 (acceptable) R9>50 R9’>88 (very good)

Current broadband phosphor white LEDs meet current urgent needs for energy saving, but color quality and theoretical efficacy of most of them are not great.

Narrowbands can be theoretically more energy efficient.

Narrowbands can create as good color rendering as smooth broadband sources

Narrowbands can make color-enhanced sources (preferred in many applications.)
